Fun fact, one has to de-realize reality before one can accuse realists of reifying reality. Ultimately, reification and de-realization are two sides of the same coin. Once we have this issue out of the way by neither reifying nor de-realizing reality, what remains is the question of direct vs indire...

It's a darn shame you guys aren't giving Peter Kropotkin the respect he deserves. I have already stated that the possibility I am seeking is to become a great philosopher.... I want to be mentioned in the same breath as Kant, Nietzsche and Hume... I am easily the most original thinker on this websit...

Not necessarily. I often use information interchangeably with processes and relations. As I pointed out earlier, there is nothing "physical" about matter. It's relations all the way down. Objects are just relations of smaller objects and those smaller objects are just more relations of ev...

Some physicalists propose that reality is simply a relation of mathematics, or that mathematics is fundamental. But mathematics is an abstraction. In my opinion, reality is not physical or mental. It is informational. Information is fundamental. Information is also an abstraction, just like mathema...

Be nice and meet them 'half way'. Reason with them. See how that goes. Just a question. What does 'half way' between rational and insanity look like? Should Muslims reach critical mass in Western European countries and start taking over, they would only half enjoy torturing and killing those who wo...

Maybe attofishpi did, who else? Quotes please.

I'm agnostic, just to be clear

Thirteen Muslim countries officially punish atheism or apostasy by death

The inherent moral sense in humans is also an evolutionary default. Therefore we should get rid of it, it's primal and primitive and wrong.

I told u judaism/christianity was a death cult, keter. The Jews and Christians were issued direct orders from the god of the Israelites to killeth a buncha people. It says it right there, keter. K: I personally find it, ''funny'' how they cherry pick the bible, and of course, anything that might co...

I don't have time to engage with post today, tomorrow yes, today, no... so, I shall note some general thoughts.... one: that the right tends to, TENDS to think of sexual matters as being more EVIL, than other acts... I point to America and the right ''fetish'' about sexual matters.... the call in A...

K: a bit prejudiced are we? as you say, "Everyone'' mummmmm, I don't think that Islam is the ''most evil major religion in the world"" perhaps, I missed that memo? I point out that Islam is the second major religion in the world, with a billion followers.... so, is that part of ''Eve...
